When sarge goes stable what's in testing will change to stuff from unstable.
If you want to stick with sarge when it goes stable use 'sarge'. If you want to stay on the bleeding--no, no . . . cutting--no . . . with debian that's 4 months ago packages in the new testing then use 'testing'.
I don't recommend 'testing' on a production box because if sarge ever
does go stable a lot of people are going to get a surprise when they update.
Now that's supposing that sarge EVER WILL go stable--to which many of us have grave doubts. But there was talk recently of cutting back the official debian platforms to 4--but that wouldn't be until after sarge is released--which leaves us back where we started: A snail's pace where Debian developer's try to test every package on 18 archs and by the time all the testing is done there are 2 newer versions of that package in most other distros. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
